Faster Storm Intensification Could Pull Cold Air Into Northeast Pennsylvania and Bring Accumulating Snow to the Poconos and Schuylkill County Friday Morning

Accumulating snow is not the most likely outcome, but it could start showing up on forecast models for the Poconos, Schuylkill County, and areas to the northwest.
